Memorial Day 1983


Jeri would be two in just a few days and Brad would have turned 5 in April.  Mom was 46.  Lets see I was a young 25 here, oh how time flys.  This is one of my kids greatest memories.  I'm sure Grandma Coartney was the photographer.  We would meet her every year at the cemeteries on Memorial Day to pay our respects and place the flowers.  We then would listen to the Memorial service and hear taps and then the 21 gun salute.  Brad still has some of the bullet casings he has saved all these years.  They used to hold a service at Enon and then another one at Ashmore but after a few years they only held a service at Ashmore.  So the last few years we would go pick up Grandma go to Enon and then on to hear the guns at Ashmore.  Special memories.
